Cut and Paste.

I went to this last night - http://www.cutandpaste.com/events/london.html. It was fantastic.

I was very cynical to start with as I thought it would just be a room full of geeks, but it was actually the most entertaining Saturday night out I have had in a long time. Basically, there are 3 rounds, each with 4 contestants leading to a 2 person final.  They each have a digital camera and a mac complete with illustrator and photoshop, and then have 15 minutes to create some art around a certain stimulus. Last night the categories were currency, olympic rings and poking fun on a cereal box, which lead to the winner -  a ’scrum tackular’ effort by this guy (www.tomjudd.co.uk) about missing the rugby to play with photoshop. It’s all webcast, so i’m tempted to watch the next rounds from here.

I also went to Ikea yesterday, in an effort to make my room look less like that of a student’s, and have a massive wardrobe to assemble tonight. Today i’m going for sunday lunch and then watching the F1, hopefully at the cinema. All in all a great weekend. Plus, my web pages that I advanced have all gone up! Woohoo! I’m starting to understand the internet (and loving my new job.)
